Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that´s far, so far away and if that´s not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don´t talk to anybody they don´t know
You´ll wind up in some factory that´s full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You´ll be coming back before too long

Don´t go back to Rockville
And waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don´t care if you´re not here with me
´Cause it´s so much easier to handle
All my problems if I´m too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it´s gonna be too late to bring you back

It´s not as though I really need you
If you were here I´d only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That´s not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You´ll be coming back before too long
